Application of oligofructose in beverages

Fruit juice beverages have huge market potential in China because of their nutrient-rich, multivitamins, trace elements, various sugars and organic acids. For example, the application of oligosaccharides (such as oligofructose, oligo-isomaltose, etc.) and various fortified nutrients in natural juices can greatly improve the health care function of the original juice drinks, enhance human immunity, reduce stress, and enhance It has good market prospects for intestinal health, increasing vitality and immunity, reducing cholesterol in the human body, and resisting the harm caused by diseases. Oligofructose is a sweetener with moderate sweetness, pure natural taste and good taste. It is easily soluble in water, does not increase the viscosity of the product, and has stable physical properties. It is very suitable for application in functional beverages. Because of its low calorie, high fiber, and stable insulin response, it can help beverage formulators successfully complete the formulation test of functional beverages when formulating new beverages.

The characteristics of oligofructose added oligofructose food and beverage can achieve high-fiber, low-heat, proliferative bifidus factor, laxative and other health effects, high-purity oligofructose can also be used as a sweet in the diet of diabetic patients Flavor.

High-fiber oligofructose is a high-quality water-soluble dietary fiber. The oligofructose-added beverage is a high-fiber beverage, which has the following effects: laxative, prevention and treatment of intestinal diseases and constipation; regulation of serum cholesterol, blood pressure lowering, prevention and treatment Cardiovascular disease; lowering blood sugar, preventing and treating diabetes, preventing obesity, and losing weight.

Low heat contains only 6.3 kilojoules of calories per gram of oligofructose, which is very suitable for obese people and young and beautiful women.

The bifidus factor oligofructose is a strong bifidus factor, which can proliferate beneficial bacteria in the intestines, inhibit harmful bacteria, and can eliminate constipation, remove intestinal waste, and improve intestinal function.

Human trials of a large amount of hypolipidemic have been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels after ingesting oligofructose.

The laxative fructose can not be digested and absorbed in the human body, and is a water-soluble dietary fiber with low molecular weight, so it can be used to relieve constipation.

Anti-caries functional oligofructose generally has no adverse effects on teeth. Caries are mainly caused by the action of oral microorganisms, especially the acid produced by sucrose by mutans, and the action of water-insoluble β-glucan. Functional oligofructose cannot be a substrate for the above-mentioned oral microorganisms, and there is no coagulation of the cells, so that it does not cause tooth decay.

Studies that promote mineral absorption have shown that oligofructose has the ability to retain mineral elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. The oligofructose cannot be decomposed by digestive enzymes, and after reaching the large intestine, the oligofructose is decomposed by the fermentation of bifidobacteria, releasing mineral ions. At the same time, it can lower the pH value of the intestine. In the acidic environment, the dissolution rate of many minerals increases, which is beneficial to absorption.

Sugar-free high-purity oligofructose is a non-fermentable sugar. It is not digested and absorbed by humans after ingestion, and does not cause an increase in blood sugar level. It is used in combination with oligofructose and non-energy sweetener instead of sucrose. It can produce sugar-free health drinks suitable for patients with diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.
